Such a funny and informative video.Thankyou.😊
Great video!
Thank you for the information. The video is helpful and you are funny! :D
Thanks a lot bro!
Love your sense of humour and practical advice.
Cheers from Australia
I m glad it could be of some help! Big hugs for you in all Australia
Great! I leave in 3 days from the US and just discovered your posts. They make more sense to me than 95% of all the others. Muchas gracias! I hope we meet sometime on the Camino!
Thanks David! Have a smooth and peaceful Camino :) I'll be around for few till autumn, so surely we will meet, hugs
You make me laugh and teach me all in the same video! Thank you! Thank you for reminding me that less is more. I will be going through my gear and removing a lot.
Thanks a lot for this comment! It is good to know that people still have sence of humor 😉😂
You have a great way of expressing your information... gracias
Thank you! I try to do things with love and sometimes it turns out helpful ;) buen Camino
Man you are amazing. Simply great natural performance and useful advices. Keep it up!
Thanks! We just try to have some fun :)
Great videos! Very helpful and entertaining!

Thanks Linda!!!! Hugs
Another great vid. I’m almost there. Thank you
Officially, you the subscriber of the Month! 🎉🎊
Thanks!
Gracias por las recomendaciones 🙌🏻 estaré esperando el video sobre calzado 🥾
Saludos desde México y ¡buen Camino!
Gracias a Ti por ver y comentar :) antes de irme a Camino voy a hacer el video sobre los zapatos que acabo de comprar unos nuevos, y lo estoy comparando con otros que tengo. Hasta pronto, un saludo grande a ti y mi querido Mexico
Gracias! I've just thrown out a third of the contents I set aside to pack. Dry sacks for organisation - my favourite bit of advice. Cheers.
Thanks Aroha for the comment, the minimalistic traveling is a new set of skills, and it can be learned :) I'm still learning ;) hugss
Great video! Thank you! A sock behind the neck is a great tip. 😂
Hahaha, the sock was totally improvised and I'm glad someone is enjoying it :) thanks a lot for the kind feedback, David! Buen Camino
This was the best Camino info I've found online ! Thanks for the great suggestions and making it fun to watch !! :-)) Can't wait to do my Camino soon !! :-)
Thanks Tamas! Hope you will be soon on the way, and maybe see you there! Hugs 🤗
@@caminotellers I'll be starting from Porto ( Portuguese way by the sea ) next Wednesday ( 17.08) ... so... if you're somewhere along the way... send me a shout :-) It would be great to grab a coffee together ! Big hug !
Excellent presentation, very useful, thank you
Thanks!🙏
your Camino channel is both entertaining & full of good information 😅🎉
Thank you :) great to have a feedback loke that ! Have a great day
I really enjoy Your videos!
I appreciate that! and thanks for knowing, this helps us to create meaningful content!
I am preparing for the camino. Your video is very practical. Thanks!
You didn't mention about sleeping bag in the video. Thanks again!
I'm glad it can be helpful, thanks, have an amazing Camino
Just discovered your videos and the timing is perfect. I’m thinking about doing my third Camino next year, and watching your videos is inspiring me to do it. Thank you!
Vaseline for my feet is at the top of my list. I put it all over my feet before I put my socks on, and amazingly, each Camino I’ve only gotten one tiny blister. Using Vaseline is the best Camino advice I was ever given.
Also, earplugs and an eye mask. It can get really noisy in the hostels.
Thanks for the great tips! 3rd already? I think you might have a Caminotitis ;) welcome to the tribe, and feel free to share your hacks, hugs
Una pena no haber visto este video hace cinco días. Consejos muy interesantes.
Buen camino chico del universo 🤗
Gracias Eva :) ¡que el universo abra todas las puertas en tu Camino! ( o sigua manteniendo cerradas aquellas que no hay que abrir ! ) abrazos
ay, me encantan tus videos, son mi guía para mi camino el año que viene!
Gracias María ! Tal vez nos veremos en el Camino año que viene! Cual vas a hacer?
@@caminotellers si ojalá nos veamos en el camino. queremos ir for el camino francés!
Only two pair of pants and shirt? Did 5 caminos and on every camino, i have had stuff disappear from the clothes line while drying. I also take a length of line and clothes pins for drying. ALWAYS use rain pants! And i always carry a sleeping pad for those nights when there are no bunks left but the floor is available. Definitely need a "S" hook" for showers and a head lamp for night time bathroom breaks.
Yes to headlamp! Thanks Al
Did the West Highland Way this summer. Not once did I wear my rain pants or jacket but used my poncho every single day. Everyone laughed but it is ALWAYS in my pack. Love your attitude and sense of humor! We are always beautiful on the trail…no mirrors 😂
Thanks Kathy! I think that poncho is the best invention after the wheel! I could totally recomend it but choosing the longer (passing the knee level) so you trousers won’t get wet so quickly! How was the west highland way? Are there any places to stay?
@@caminotellers Would go back tomorrow. It’s really a walk. Day 2 of Loch Lomond was a little tedious. Diversity of trail awesome. As always fellow hikers and locals the best. Great places to stay if you don’t want to camp perfectly spaced apart. Trying to find a few hundred miles to do next summer but thinking the el Camino may be to hot in July?
You are the best🙌🏼
No, you are the best!!!
Such a great video and i just love your sense of humour! Did you bring any further sleeping gear, like a sleeping bag or liner or was everything provided in the hostels during this time? :)
Thanks a lot! I manage to get a blanket each time it was cold... but if you choose to stay in municipal albergues its a russian rulete.. the sheets are always there for extra 1 e, and a pro tip.. in the morning, you can pack them and use for a next albergue :)
Hola queridos vecinos. ¡¡
Ganaste un nuevo suscriptor hoy!! ¡¡En mi opinión, es la reseña de equipo más divertida de la web (y he visto muchas de ellas)!!. Sencillo y eficaz👍para la mayoría de caminantes. Sólo falta una parte para aquellos que vivaquean, pero lo entiendo porque ese no es su objetivo principal.
hasta pronto !!
Vecino! No nos sale tu nombre, prenunciate! Muchas gracias por tus palabras!!!
Greets from Holland. Thank you
You’re welcome Sandy! Hugsss
Buenos días desde méxico saludos amigo Buen camino
Hola Daniel! Un saludo fuerte para Ti!
Hi there, fun video :-D couldn´t see any towel or did I miss that part of the video? Buen Camino!
thats soooo true! I I knew I forgot about something... fast drying towel is a wise option. Thanks for the advice, big hug
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos! What about a towel?
Upsss, I forgot about the towel ;) it was there but it fell of the bed and I forgot to mention it 🤣😂 when is your Camino?
Hi Ricky, Love your great videos, some of the best I have watched on the Camino. First time camino walker from New Zealand starting in July walking Norte/Primitivo. Planning to stay in albergues if possible however should I pack a tent incase they are full being a holy year and peak time? Muchas gracias Kim
Hi Kim! Welcome onboard :) Norte/Primitivo is not the busiest Camino, so you might be sound. If not there are plenty of big towns around where you can get a tent in reasonable cost. Closer to get to santiago, more busy it becomes, especially the Santiago itself. Booking your stay in santiago around 25th(holy days) is a must.
hope I could help a bit. :) hugs
Polyester or polyamide works just as well as merino wool, except it doesn't provide much warmth, and it stinks when it dries with sweat. The key with these is having two pairs of socks, and washing/switching midday. Two hiking socks and one pair for sleep. Same for boxers and first torso layer.
Pants and long sleeved shirts means less sunscreen, and less gunk on your clothes. There's arms and legs sleeves out there if you don't want to get an expensive pair of modular clothes.
A cooling towel and/or water spray is 👌
Instead of that big jacket, I prefer two separate layers - One compactable wind-breaker, and a cheap 6€ polar fleece with a center zip for temperature regulation.
Rain pants are fine, but for the torso an umbrella is the only way to go (unless you're cycle touring). It allows you to stay cool and will repell 100% of the water that hits it.
Good advice on the socks. Most, if not all videos I watch, some one gets blisters and they need treatment or they stop walking so they can heal.
We found the distance or rather excess of distance a main issue for blisters. So walk less, at least for first few days. If your feet get wet, change the socks and don’t let the skin be constantly humid, that helps too!
@@caminotellers I walk a lot at a nearby park; at least 3 to 4 miles daily, with some days off. I used to get pain in my chins....not anymore though. Still planning a journey.
Weight is also important. When my wife and walked the Camino our bags were 10 and 12 pounds without water. Yes, light weights and quick dry is really the clue for comfort and weight.
Thanks for the advice! 🙏🤗
Shoes, shoes, shoes !!!
Makes all the difference
True story!
The 10% carry weight or less is good
Also net Bags to hang your Socks to dry/air out while walking,
Also surprised you didn't include Power bank or snacks for in case and also basic 1st aid kit to your list
The PowerBank is an extra which could be easily avoided, as all the albergues have electricity- and I have few batteries to charge as I record during the Camino.. and FAK... I use few things, the rest it can be bought on the way. At least this is how I do it, but you know, there are thousands way to" use the same spoon " 😃
your right about quick drying clothes , however if your underpants are still a bit wet you can wear them on your head like a tuque and they will dry faster from body heat and exposure to the sun ,, ha (yes you will look silly but we all need a laugh) .
Hahahahah I ll try it next time, and if I’ll see anyone like that on the Camino, I know who’s idea was that ;) hugs
Your videos or absolutely great, fantastic job! I bought this backpack for my next year Camino. I was wondering how do you find it? Is it a good choice? Cheers x
The bag has to be well adjusted to your size, resting on your hips and… nearly empty! Once it’s there it will be ok with any bag… I have already tried 3 different once, and this is my criteria;) hugs
Your posts are great fun. Thanks. Please tell me if you would take a liner/pillow for sleeping in alburgues. I hear stories of fleas??? Also - a pair of flip flops for moving around albergues and outside locally. Are these necessary? Bien viajes.
Big thanks to you Mike for the feedback! I met some people who had problems witb bed bugs, but it is a rare event. Normally albergues provide some sort of sheets and pillow, so I wont take any, but... all depands on the person. Regarding flip flops, nice to have a pair and relax the after the long walk. They are an essential gear for me! hope it is usefull and I will include more of these question in next videos. Buen Camino
I saw people use a rain "wraparound skirt" lately, you just strap it around your waste and it goes down as long as you like. I'm not sure if they can be bought or are made diy, but seems to be a great light weight solution to keep your pants from getting soaking wet in a heavy down pour. You can turn the closed part to where ever wind and rain are coming your way.
Great tip, thanks! If you remember the name of it, just write it down! Higs
@@caminotellers They are called rain kilt or rain skirt, seems they are actually expensive (but easy to make, all you need is some rain resistant light material, rubber band for the waist and a sewing machine ;)
Mad as a mongoose, but all good advice!
Take care and stay safe 🇬🇧
Thanks Steve :)
Very good list, but you forgot toilett paper and a garbage bag.
I used thin baby alpacca wool socks and 2 pairs. So all together I had 4 with me.
Dobble socks kept my feet blisterfree and dry.
Buen camino.
I also forgot about the towel... must have! I hope that the Next camino list will 100 %
Buen camino
Great video. What is your system for washing clothes, which bag do you use?
Thanks Kevin! There are places to wash in every albergue, with some soap you will be fine. And once a few days I use the washing machine. The important factor is the fast drying fabric! Hugs

Great video. Can you please tell us what the actual backpack you have in this video is?
Fernando! How are you? this backpack was the Decathlon 40l, which at the last momeent I've changed for the Osprey stratos 50l... this wasn't the best option as 50 is way to big! which one you have or think of?
You’re hilarious! Thank you for your videos. May I ask what the sizes of the orange and green dry bags are?
Thanks a lot! We have lots of fun doing our videos :) btw, the bags are 8l… hugs
@@caminotellers Grazie mille!
Great advice, thank you. What's the size and name of the backpack you are using?
Thanks Bryan! The size is 30l... any brand will do as long as they are made for hiking...
I did the Del Norte and many mornings we’d start with our rain stuff on. I discovered I could get by with just a rain ponchos. I got too hot with the rain pants and after the first time or two, the rain pants stayed in my backpack as well as the rain jacket.
I have the same experience, nowadays I only use poncho and let the legs get wet, if the poncho is long enough it will protect legs too ! Thanks Jack 😊
I went with the jacket and las minute decided to leave my rain pants at home and I was glad I did. I went in summer and my pants were very quick drying, so I didnt really need them. Most of the rain came late in the afternoon when I had arrived anyways
soooo cute
thanks soo much!
Great video.. I have done 4 Caminos and I always take too much which means I have to post stuff ahead to Santiago. I’ll try to follow your advice to the letter for next time. Just one question, how do you dry yourself when you get out of the shower? I don’t think I saw a microfibres towel in your pack
Hahaahhah I forgot to mention it ;) we’ll spotted! Hugs
Hi! Thanks for the video! You haven’t mentioned anything about a towel or laundry soap? I would love to get your opinion on these items
Galit you are soooo right! I ve totally forgotten about the towel! If you more comfortable with laundry soap, it’s ok, many people also use powder or normal soap! And the towel- dry able microfibre material is the best! Hugs
@@caminotellers thank you!!
Love the content! How many Liters is your backpack?
30L. A good enough size for 3 season walking.
@@caminotellers Hola Ricky, dime cual backpack usas tu. me gusta porque se abre como una maleta :-)
Hola Ricky! Your videos are the greatest. I am hoping to walk in 2023. My one concern has been the so-called "bed race." I would prefer not to reserve ahead and just let the Camino provide. I appreciated your video on this, as it seemed that you always find a bed. But, have there been times when you had to sleep rough? Wild camp? Sleep Inn a churchyard?
Hi Len! Thanks for the feedback :) the bed race is in the most busy routs (sarria-santiago, last 119 km) in the busy period of may-aug... but, there ard plenty of albergues in the villages around bigger cities where people normally stay, do it's a matter to plan your trip differently than all other pilgrims that stick to the main stopping points. Anyways, once you here, you can reserve one day ahead if it's really busy ;) hugs and hope to see you on the Camino!
I did the Del Norte last summer. We always found a place to stay. Some places limited their beds do to Covid but we always found a place. One time, the town had no open spots but I think we only had to walk another mile or little more to get a bed.
Having walked the Camino Frances twice, I would have to say that there are many sleeping amenities along the Way. The next village with accomodations is usually another 3, 5, 8 or at most another 10 km away so it is just a matter of keeping on walking to reach the next accommodations. There is also mass transit and taxi services if you find yourself in an pinch. And finally, some albergues will find a space on the floor for you to sleep on when needed.Finally, another option is to wait until morning to book your albergue. But if you are interested, there are people who have bivouacked the entire Camino Frances.
Great video! Do you recommend a rain jacked and poncho, if walking in July/August, or just rain jacket?
Hi Philip! If your backpack has a water cover, jacket should be enough. Yo can always get an umbrella... as many people do! To save space, i take a poncho and it covers my bag :) which Camino will you do?
@@caminotellers It does and Frances. Thank you :)
@@phillipbrightmore4257 super! Enjoy and maybe see you on the way
Like a lot of the comments here, you are someone I would like to meet! I’ll be walking the way September to mid October, paying penance to Barney Boy. Keep smiling at grimness!

Thanks for the feedback! I didnt think about that but it could be a good idea if it could help :) thanks mr. Ghoti
Una pasada de vídeo. Eres la caña. Una pregunta, las bolsas donde tienes metida tu ropa, ¿Dónde se pueden conseguir? Me parecen una idea brutal para organizar la mochila.
Gracias Tio! Las bolsas las puedes conseguir en cualquier tienda de montaña o por el Amazon...yo llevo las de 8 litros y estan más que suficiente!
De que marca son las que usas?
Should I take tent and sleeping bag?
What about a sleeping sheet/cocoon which I thought was required at some albergues?
In all albergues you get the sheets, they are one time use only. In some fancy onces you get the cotton sheets. As per my little experience. Hugs
You’re very funny - thanks for the video! I’m doing my first cameo soon - Do you carry laundry soap or is it available at the albergues? Do you bring walking poles, bed liner, or sandals for the evenings?
Thanks for the kind words Angela! The Laudndry soap or powder is not widely available in the albergues but they do have some powder sometimes or normal soap, should not be a problem...all the places that we ve been to, had some sort of bed liners so if you do not require a silk bed sheets, dont worry ... and about the poles, we did a full video as the subject is complexed. Hope you will enjoy your Camino and if you have anu questions, we are here to help... buen Camino
@@caminotellers thanks for the info! I will check out your video on hiking poles

I'm a new Camino hiker and I'm landing in Lisbon. I've written down your recommendations. You are so engaging! Sleeping bag! Which do you recommend by weight? I'm trying for less than 1kg. Also, shoes. Everyone tells me a different story. I'm doing the Portuguese central from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela. Which shoes? And which socks other than merino? People tell me to get Injinji liner toe socks. Ix that Important?
Hello Sandra, thanks for your message!
As for the sleeping bag: we use one from decathlon which is approx 600g, but you can also check the sleeping linen.
Shoes: check our video about shoes, it can help you! Erica uses new balance 6 hierro and before she had Merrell. We use trail running shoes, which are more versatile and flexible for all kind of terrain, perfect for the Portuguese way.
Socks: you can also opt for hiking socks (again, we use the ones from decathlon). Hope it helps 😊
Hola! Una pregunta ¿no necesitas llevar toalla para secarte después de la ducha? Saludos!
Jajajja si Emilio! Te lo puedes imaginar que la tenia preparada para el video y no lo puse en el saco, por lo tanto no me acordé de mencionarla... hasta después de publicar el video! LLEVEN TOALLA 😅😅😅😅😉🙏
Can I take a tent with me to porto camping?
Hi fellow pilgrim can you tell me if there any place I can leave a bag in Santiago that I can pickup at the end of my hike from sarria?thank you
Barry! how are you? the nation post office makes this type of service, and on the website you can find all the useful iinfo : www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/es/consigna-santiago

Hola socio, las camisetas y calcetines de lana Merino no dan mucho calor? Quiero hacer mi primer camino a principios de octubre. Que chaquetas llevas ahí por cierto?
Lana merino permite que el cuerpo respire, al contrario que otras telas, igualmente hay varios grosores de tejido, desde 100 hasta 500… la de 500 me da mucho calor durante el verano pero durante el otoño me salva la vida! Jacketa? Para días de frío, un polar y si no una impermeable simple…
Do you have a shopping list to buy the gear you use? What size is the backpack?
hi! How are you? when are you planning your adventure? Under this end every video there is affiliation link list of my gear, and if you subscribe to our newsletter apart of great tips about Camino, we also send Free packing list checklist pdf, which can be useful when preparing for any long distance hike. (eepurl.com/ihh6T5), hugs
@@caminotellers Thank you for your kind reply, I just found out that the camino exist, I was given a book Finding Love On The Camino, and since then watch a movie, many youtube videos and yours rock, So I am getting a idea of what do i need, but it will be in the short future. I will have you couching in mind for when I am ready. Thank You
do you really need that jacket or the merino socks if you're doing camino in the summer?
Merino socks are always with me, they naturally regulate the temperature inside of my shoes… however how thick will they be is a different story. There are many thick hiking socks that obviously I wouldn’t use in summer. The new “smart-wool” running merino are great for that! The jacket (light feather in this case) depends on the Camino you walk. It can be exchanged for a polar too…
0:57 Hey we are over here!
What???? Are you in Marco’s place?
Hola Ricky, I'll go for my Camino del Norte in July 2022. May I know do you use fanny bag (waist pouch to keep your cash, credit cards & important documents) when walking the Camino? Also, do you sleep with fanny bag attached with you too?
Camino del Norte? Wow, it is a great route! I walk it last year and I'll be repeating, no doubt! The vasc way can be a good hike ;)
Keeping the belongings close by is always a good idea. Camino is reasonably a safe environment but being street wise is always a virtue! Follow your instinct, thats the best advice I can give and remember that sometimes money is only a piece of paper that we give a value to... big hugs!
@@caminotellers Noted Ricky, muchas gracias por consejos. This is indeed my first time having Camino and long walk in my life!! 😅
@@pablodavet.6096 if you have other question, don't doubt to ask ;) and walk(prepare) before as the Camino del norte is a good hike!
What is a “washing tweezer”?
These are the clips which you use when hanging your dry cloths. Super pro important!
Do you change pant for the rain or put rain pants on top ?
Nowadays, to minimise the weight I would only use a longer rain poncho. There are some with longer front which protects from rain, mostly. Obviously, rain trousers are the most water proof options, and many of them are designed to put them on with the shoes on, so when the rain surprise you, you can surprise the rain and jump into rain trousers ;) which camino are you planning?
where did you buy those little bags? Are they waterproof? What do you call those little bags?
These are the dry bags, check the links in the description
Hi Ricky, great video! Did you not bring any other footwear, like slippers? Also, on the day itself, besides water, would you bring a certain type of food? Thanks!
Hellooo! Sleepers or flip flops are definitely one of the thing I forgot to mention! And with the food…it all depends on what do you eat: if you a vegan or vegetarian you might take some extra nuts.. otherwise there are many options on the way. Some people who’s sugar can get low, tend to get some sweets 🍫… but remember, every extra item you get, you will have to Carry with you ;) hugs
@@caminotellers Muchisimas gracias Ricky, un abrazo y buen camino!!
What is the backpack that you use? Can you tell me the brand and model? Thanks.
Nowadays I use osprey stratos 26l…. It’s a great piece of technology !
Thanks, RIcky. I am really enjoying your videos. I'm planning on doing the Camino Portuguese next springs @@caminotellers
Y gafas de sol y gorra también llevas no?. Y productos de primeros auxilios como tijeras, tiritas, hilo agujas etc.. no llevas?
Gorra si que llevo, pero gafas las suelo perder cada vez que me las compro, asi que no las llevo.(pero si, es buena idea). Olvide mencionar la toalla de secado rapido y algo para esctibir para hacer un par de reflexiones... lo demas, si lo necesito, lo compro :)
What about different kinds of hats? You didn't mention anything about them.
Thanks for reminding, so many details to have in mind! The straw hat with a big rim is a must in the summer time! Spain can get sunny. There are also different types of hiking hats with a neck protection which seem to be used by pilgrims too. But yes, I ll take one with me! Which is the Camino you do?

Una pregunta lo tienes en Español pues no entiendo el ingles gracias
Hola Josep! Como andas? ya te estas preparando para el Camino? Sera frances? Estoy en el proceso de hacer el video en español, tal vez el finde ya lo tengo listo :) un saludo fuerte
Por el momento, hay subtitulos en español, por si quieres la info ahora. La opción de ponerlos puedes encontrar al lado del agrandar la pantalla. Un saludo
Lumberjack wedding 😂
Upsss ;)
Dude.. I have the exact same shoes, socks AND rain poncho as you. How weird is that?
Dude, we must be twins! I should speak to my mom tonight… hahahaha
@@caminotellers If our paths ever cross, I'll make sure to come say hello to my long lost brother haha.
Don’t you need towels at the Camino?
yep, yo do... and I need some extra memory to remember all that i should say... hahhaha hugs
So no camping gear whatsoever? I assume you stay in hostels, and don't use a tent or tarp?
I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances but not using hostels, to make the experience more like the original pilgrimage, I think the route with bars, cafés, hostels etc takes something away from the experience.
Thanks
You will always find campers, but it’s true that I’ve seen more on Camino del Norte..
Do you take a towel with you?
@gnomad5922 the towel was one of the things that we forgot to add ;) after recording the video it was to late to add it :( check this video -th-cam.com/video/dAjiW0yHUIA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f8Zbl7WOmxS-7j-J
Do you need a towel??
Yes of course. Go to the videos description and you'll see which one we use: practical and lightweight!!
Grazie per i tuoi utilissimi consigli. Qui il link della mia avventura th-cam.com/video/ZRZAOt5S0E8/w-d-xo.html che si è conclusa pochi giorni fa ( giugno 2022) dai Pirenei sino a Muxia e Finisterre. Ciao Riccardo
gracie amico mio! un abraccio forte
